Third (and final), most extensive edition of this principal work on the history of the Turkish wars. This encompassing contemporary chronicle had first been published in 1602. Contains views of the sieges and battles of all principal cities and the portraits of all warlords involved on both sides. Includes nine portrait plates more than required by Nebehay/Wagner. Occasional insignificant browning and fingerstaining, but in uncommonly good condition throughout.
